Type of car, mods, style of driving? My car will manage 250 miles on a full tank (60 litres) if I drive it like a ***** on the motorway. Driving hard on B roads, I can blow a tank on just over 100 miles.

I drove from near edinburgh to Blackpool down the motorway i got about 250miles on a full tank. takes £50 to fill from empty over £1 a litre hear for super UL

However on short journeys its crap, and TBH its hard to drive anywhere without giving it a little clug. **phssssssss

i dont think any of us own scoobys for there fuel consumption

My standard MY98 used to do @ 220 miles on a tank.

My modded bugeye WRX(280bhp) consistently gets 270 miles which works out @ 25mpg

Fairly sure they both hold the same amount of fuel at 50 litres
